WPW 350 - Michele Maroldo (2 hours)
Among those [WPW bicep oriented videos] that I have seen...it is THE best in terms of subject's attributes (those arms!!!) and the production.
Michele's in awesome condition (although taped in "off season" condition)... she's chiseled, but not extremely cut. She's also quite attractive with beautiful blue eyes and long strawberry blonde hair with nice highlights. She has a seemingly great personality--with no annoying background music overdubs, it comes through when the cameraman chats her up (and during the interview). Her only minor flaw: she may need a touch of finishing school with emphasis on feminine grace...when they did the cool walking to and fro scenes, the tune "Walks like a man" ran through my head. As her recent poor placings in regional contests were revealed during the interview, I surmised this minor flaw probably bleeds over into her posing routines and costs her presentation style points. After your check out her bod, you'll agree--it's the only possible explanation. She has a world caliber physique. Apparently, she's only been in a few contests. When she refines this area...look out Ms. Olympia--she's gonna be a contender quickly!
More on production values: WPW did it right. Like I said, no music dubs. WPW executes their standard format: gym work with interspersed posing of the pumped body parts (they concentrate on the upper body, especially those guns) followed by posing in various outfits (a bikini, dresses, and hot pants/halter outfits). However, the good news (and departure from the standard) here is they did lots of "Martinesque" muscle pumping and shot from many and varied angles.
Who's would I compare her biceps to? They are a delightful cross between Vicki Gates and Charla Sedacca--size and peak.
Enough drivel from me--GO GET THIS TAPE!
Michele certainly has an awesome set of arms - some of the biggest and best ever. However, overall, I was disappointed with this tape - not because of anything WPW did wrong, but for my taste, Maroldo's physique simply doesn't live up to the hype. She's somewhat blocky and thick-waisted, which is particularly apparent in the bikini footage. Also, her face looked kind of harsh during the close-up shots (I suspect this was related to her condition - her face looked much better when she recently appeared on the Maury Povich show), and it would help if she at least tried to smile occasionally. But worst of all, she's just not a very good poser. She even needed some coaching from the WPW guys to hit a proper double biceps pose. With arms like that, you'd think that would be one pose she'd be familiar with by now. And the walking scenes? Well, let's just say that I agree with TheJackal's assessment - basically, she has arms like a blacksmith, and she walks like one, too. If you're a bicep nut, and you don't care about the rest of the physique, this tape is a must have; otherwise, don't bother.
